**** Dark Knight. Bale's acting was awful, the plot was ridiculously convoluted, the ending sucked, and Maggie Gyllenhaal is uglier than a bulldog's asshole. And Ledger's Joker did nothing for me. And NO, I don't give a **** that he drugged himself to death, nor do I think he deserved an Oscar because of it. My apologies to all of you out there who keep candlelit shrines to the guy in your closets.

I disagree with you on your thoughts about the movie, but that's just differing opinions.

However, I 100% agree with your take on Maggie Gyllenhaal. Good god she is a hideous creature.

As for Watchmen, it is just inconceivable to me that you don't like it.

It just left me feeling flat. Stylistically I loved the way it looked, but I just didn't get anything out of the movie itself. I've never even felt the desire to see it a second time, which for me is as much of a sign that I don't like something as there is. Movies I like I'll watch over and over (in the theater with some, I'm not even talking about at home). Dark Knight I saw four times on the big screen. Ditto for Batman Begins. I think I saw Avatar five times. I'm not really moved by reviews (although I read them) or by popular opinion, either. I'm not going to go see something a bunch because somebody else likes it...

As far as Dark Knight goes, I just like the movie, although I don't think it's some kind of religious experience or high point in cinema. I just enjoyed the sum of the parts. Everything worked for me and I'm enthusiastic to see the final act of the trilogy.

Heh. I've watched Watchmen like seven times.
